Ivan,

I can understand that this is somewhat frustrating, and we are working
pretty hard to ensure that all eggs build with the trunk (in fact,
nearly all do,
and those that aren't are broken for different reasons). The whole repository
branching stuff has been done exactly for being able to avoid such situations
in the future.

You can in fact help: you could install Salmonella
(http://chicken.wiki.br/salmonella) and run it over those eggs that
make sense of a Mac environment. I'm sure Mario can give you
advice, should there be any problems with the setup.


cheers,
